Yeah, pretty sure this was a joke; I am positive that there would be no one as stupid so as to post about doing something so obviously dumb and unethical on a community like this with any sort of seriousness.<br />
<br />
Effective troll is effective, though.<br />

Do anything with that copy, anyway. I also don't mind people copying for individual friends or whatever. I would be pissed if someone made copies and sold for a profit, of course.<br />

Well, what about just... reprinting them and asking instead for payment, for them to send you enough stamps to mail it and a few extra to help cover printing costs?<br />
<br />
On top of that, contacting authors and getting the okay from them would be the best plan.<br />

I'd find it completely unethical to profit from reprinting someone else's zine without their permission. That's far worse than reselling an old issue on ebay. I consider the old issue something you own and can resell, but making reprints from other zines and reselling them clearly is shady.</div>
